As mentioned at the end of my Windows Phone 7 impressions post I felt it important to give a list of all the issues, bugs, annoyances inherent to the OS that I was using. Hopefully this post will, with the right publicity get to all the right people at Nokia. So here I present

Andre’s Laundry list of Windows Phone 7 issues:

No unified email application that contains your multiple email addresses and allows you to Â subsequently manage them all at once.

No easy way to delete an email account

Going from lock screen to notifications requires unlocking,swiping and THEN clicking on the toast notification

Notifications are not persistent.

Battery and signal indicators are not persistent

No percentage or easy way to gauge battery life

Applications and games more expensive than their Android or iOS counterparts.

No easy way to jump between applications unless using the back button

Apps donâ€™t all save their states and most take too long to restart. Given the likelihood of accidentally pressing back and exiting or pressing the lock button, this is unforgivable.

Turn by turn navigation is strangely unavailable

Inability to switch between 3g and 2g easily and manually

Keyboard takes up too much space sometimes

Keys below screen strangely donâ€™t stay lit as long as the screen does

Account management in XBL is laughable

No easy way, widget or otherwise to manipulate connectivity settings

Cannot connect to secure wifi networks using WPA P2K security.

Marketplace doesnâ€™t allow large application and game downloads over 3g

Music player doesnâ€™t have ratings for songs (though you can specify whether you â€œheartâ€ them or not

No ability to create playlists on the device

No new songs, top-rated or most played playlists on the device

The volume controls in media seem to strangely effect the volume of the ringer.

Battery life in standby is worse than Symbian devices.

Stopped charging at 12am, played 20 minutes of monopoly, push email on and read an e-book for about half hour battery was less than half by 12 pm. (On further analysis it looks like the Super AMOLED screen is to blame in this case.)

Charging takes forever, worse so when the screen is onâ€¦ itâ€™s TERRIBLE, not sure if hardware specific though but itâ€™s an annoyance nonetheless

I like haptic feedback, the N8 had haptic feedback, my 5800 had haptic feedback, Please make sure haptic feedback is in your Windows Phone devices, thanks.
